Rebonding and teeth whitening was not done as expected

Monday, November 9th, 2009
Q.
I very recently attempted at a local dentists office to have my canine tooth (which had bonding on it) re-bonded. I wanted it to be a solid color and shaped appropriately without harming my gum. The dentist was highly unsuccessful. The bonding looks varigated (two colors) and was either too large (looked like a dog tooth) and now too small/short. Question: should it not be simple to mix a color to match the tooth and not be varigated? Also, I had one hour whitening done and it didn’t really whiten my teeth very well. It has been less than two weeks and what whitening occurred is going away quickly. I asked if I had enough enamel for the treatment (I am 51) and did not get a reply. Any suggestions on how to get my teeth very white and a my canine to match? I do take good care of my teeth, brush, floss, etc daily FYI. Thank you!

Please help me in reshaping my teeth

Friday, November 6th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr Moore I am Writing concerning a special case of cosmetic dentistry i am interested in. I am looking for a way of reshaping 8 of my teeth (the top and bottom canines and top and bottom lateral incisors). I wanted to consult you as to the feasibility of this, and secondly if it is a service you can provide as it is reshaping the teeth rather than trying to return them to a normal shape. The effect i am after is for the canines themselves to be slightly expended (approximately 1 or 2mm) and both them and the lateral incisors to be more pointed. The intent is to be a subtle effect and must be acceptable for still eating/chewing etc. I realize in itself this request is rather unusual, but i was hoping even if you yourself cannot provide this service you might be able to point me in the direction of those who could. On that note, if you can provide this service, how much would it cost? for all 8 teeth and which would be the best way of approaching this? I would greatly appreciate any help your expertise could lend to this matter.

I am not happy with the outcome of my cosmetic dental treatment

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
I have recently completed a course of cosmetic dental treatment which included a porcelain veneer on one of my front teeth. I don’t feel at all happy with it as it is rough to the touch and not the same colour as the other tooth. It appears almost stained!I am concerned to speak to my dentist as a complaint seems an insult to his work, however, the treatment was expensive and I am not happy with the result. Your advice would be appreciated as I don’t believe a pocelain veneer should be rough. Thank you for any help you are able to offer.

Thanks for getting touch, I wo… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Is gum contouring done along with veneers treatment?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
I beleive I may need 1 or 2 implants to replace 2 vineers I already have. I would also like vineers on the other 6 front teeth to perfect this. I need some gum contouring on the right side as my gum shows to much when I smile. Could the gum contouring be done before or after the vineers/implants or would the contouring have to be done in conjunction with the vineers/implants? I am also considering going to Poland to save money rather than Harley st. Whats your professional opinion on this ?

A.
The contouring is normally don… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My dentist is reluctant to suggest a treatment could you please help?

Thursday, November 5th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I have a quick question I hope you might be able to answer. One of my front teeth is slightly twisted and is particularly noticeable when you look at it from the side. It makes me self-conscious when I smile, although my other teeth are still in place and I would be happy to leave them where and how they are. I wore a fixed brace and then a removeable brace as a teenager and have recently had my top 2 wisdom teeth removed due to overcrowding (perhaps this may have caused the front tooth to twist?). I asked my dentist about possible treatments but he seemed reluctant to suggest anything as the tooth is healthy. I wouldn’t want to wear another fixed brace and ideally would want a quick, long term solution, preferably not too expensive. I was wondering what might be the best option? Thanks.
